Ugly Advice – Measuring Gooey Liquids

Super quick one this week!

I’ve always had trouble measuring really gooey liquid ingredients like honey, corn syrup and the like. Quite a bit sticks to the measuring cup and I’m always wondering if I’m actually putting in the right amount or if I need to add a little more to accommodate for the amount that’s left in the cup.

But…I’ve got a solution. A quick spray of the cup with non-stick spray and the gooey stuff pours right out. It’s a simple but effective solution and the best part is you don’t have to worry about whether the ingredient amounts are right anymore.

Here, the corn syrup is coating the cup.

Here, you can see most of the corn syrup is sliding off the cup and into the bowl!

Watch your oven! The cook times here are “ish” as in “cook for 8 minutes-ish”. I say this because not all ovens are the same. Your oven at 350° may actually run at 340°, while someone else’s may run at 365°. That’s fine – just watch the desserts on the first baking sheet or so to make sure they don’t burn. Then adjust the times so they make sense for you.
